Digital Storytelling is a technique that uses electronic media to tell a story.  The technique can be adapted for use in a wide variety of subject areas to present ideas, concepts or content.  For a simple student project have them use the digital storytelling technique to present what they have learned about a particular idea.

We will use Microsoft Photostory 3 – a simple software tool that is installed on all the computers in the school division – to build a sample photostory of three or four slides in length.
